WOOD-WORKING VISE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 251,623,,dated. December 27, 1881.

Application filed October 6, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES M. MONTGOM- ERY, Jr., of the city of Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wood-Working Vises; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings,makingpnrtofthis specification, and in which Figure l is a top plan view; Fig. 2, an end elevation, and Figs. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 detail views.

My invention relates to bench-vises; and the novelty consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as will be more fully hereinafter set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the drawings, N represents the bench, having faces 1 2 3 arranged at proper and desired angles with each other, the outer two, 1 3, being at right angles with each other. These faces serve as the innerjaws of the vise in practice, the outer jaw, B, operated by the screw A,'acting in connection therewith to form the clamping device.

O represents the post pivoted above and be low in the bench at n, and D a female-threaded block-in which the screw A operates.

E represents the frame which supports the jaw B, and it reciprocates in slots or recesses 90 win the post 0, which has a ratcheted elbow- (No model.)

arm, d, as shown, in which operates a pawl, g,

pivoted to the frame E, which runs on a fricsupports the screw, and is held removably se-' cured in place by a set-screw, 21.

It will be observed that the three faces 1'2 3, although part ofi the bench, serve as the inner jaws of the vise, and the angles assistthe workman in approximating these angles in his work.

The post 0, pivoted above and below, gives a steady bearing to the screw A, and the recesses m w afford efiicient guides in which the frame E is moved. Said frame E rides on a friction-roll, e, which is journaled in the ratcheted bracket d.

What I claim as new is- The swinging post 0, journaled above and below, as shown, and having the side recesses, 00 00, the elbow frame, having ratchets (1 and journal-bearings for a friction-roll, e, secured thereto, the sliding frame E, pawl g, screw A, and outer jaw, B,combined with a bench having three faces, 1 2 3, arranged at proper angles to each other, as shown, and adapted to serve as the inner jaw of the device in three positions, as set forth.
